McDonald's Bradley Stoke branch hiring ahead of September opening

A new branch of McDonald's, set to open after summer, is already looking to recruit staff. The newest addition to the fast food chain's franchises will be in Bradley Stoke and they are offering full and part time roles.

The job ad, which is looking for crew members, says set or flexible hours are available as well as shift premium when staff work between 12am and 6am as the new McDonald's will be open 24 hours. Other benefits include free staff meals and employee discounts.

It is not the only new business to be opening at Willow Brook, Bradley Stoke. A Starbucks is being built right next door as well. The plans were not met entirely met with approval by local residents who expressed concern about increased litter, increased traffic and less parking plus the fact the fast food chain will be so close to schools.
